    I was getting impatient with trying to get my xj550 to run. As luck would have it, someone nearby had a xj750 Maxim for sale at a great price. The PO said it used to be his daily driver but had been sitting for about 9 months since he got his new bike. He said I should drain the oil and gas, drop in some new spark plugs, and it definitely needs a new battery. Any other pointers before I try to crank this baby up? Also, isn't that a Seca gas tank? The PO said it was already on it when he bought it, so he wasn't sure.

    Yes, that does look like a Seca tank. Doesn't look too out of place, but we who know XJ's can tell..... I'd bet you could find a proper 750 tank with a bit of searching. How much? Looks like a good project with much potential.
